Replacing Old Outdoor Alarm Box?

    Hi All,

    I'm back after getting some great friendly advice previously on replacing the battery on an Aritech alarm system.

    I am looking to replace an old'ish outdoor alarm box (not sure if I have the terminology correct here?!!).

    I see the newer boxes are a lot more visible - LED lighting?

    My question is where would I get such a box? How much could I expect to pay for one? And finally how easy is it to replace the box? What way are they wired?

    Thank You :)

    These are the bells we use as standard.
    Delta Bell Plus

    Soft back lit & very visible strobe & LEDs.
    Have a look at the Suppliers Stickey for a source near you.

    Easy enough to install as long as your not afraid of heights or drilling walls.
    Just make a note of the existing wiring as you disconnect the old bell & be careful not to short any wires.

    PS Ill close the 2nd thread you started.;)

    Which Aritech system are you looking to connect it too ? I have a few diagrams made up that may suit :D

    The blank ones don't look great, equally poorly thought out designs don't look great either

    You see a bell box, you only hear the bell.

    The bell has to look professional in order to deter

    Having an alarm is only a deterrent.
